In 1997, Jeremy Wray did one of the greatest tricks ever done on a skateboard - a 16-foot ollie from one water tower to the next.
For years, we’ve wanted to talk to Wray about his water tower ollie, so while we were out in California we tracking him down and convinced him to meet us close to the towers, about an hour outside of LA. And if it wasn’t nostalgic enough, we even had to hop the fence to stand in between the towers and soak in the madness.

Theshiznitman Well my friend, I don't know your skill level. I used to do the most insane gaps when I was actually trying to get my name out. Just think, wallenberg is 22 ft, this is 16 ft WITHOUT a six foot height to drop from. I'm just saying, if anyone wants to be known in the sponser side, or community, they would kf this monster. Lay out a tape measure and see how much you can clear. At least now people KNOW just how far it is. I bet in my ABSOLUTE HAYDEY I could flat Ollie ten to twelve. So I would of died. I guarantee you though, I would of tried it if I lived in that state. kinda scary to think about. Thank God I'm not that suicidal anymore, though I was never suicidal. Even back in the 90's you had to do extreme shit (gaps never change, you Ollie a massive gap and it can be twenty, thirty years prior, it doesn't change as someone has to 180 it or kf it ECT...). Now skating is so fucking insane with the flip in, grind or slide, flip out shit. I still just love gaps and big rails. I don't skate anymore but if you want a cover, kf the water tower gap.

@@layyouin6860 I hear ya man. With everyone owning a smartphone these days, the amount of time you would have to attempt the water tower gap would be limited.

I still have the Trasher with that Ollie on the cover, 23 years ago, a "simple" Ollie is still one the gnarliest trick ever done. Absolute Respect.

I remember back in 1987 while looking at a Thrasher magazine not being able to understand how a skater came down from an air on a half pipe. This is the same type awe thinking about the possible down side of an error. Much respect. He gave his all.

I remember as a kid back in 98-99, the playstation Tony Hawk Pro Skater game had that trick as part of a video that played on a simulated large screen on one of the maps. I probably watched and rewatched that video a thousand times waiting for this trick to appear so I could detail one more aspect of it. Legendary
